Description
Happy Valley Toll Office is a 19th-century toll office constructed with rusticated stone blocks of various rectangular and square sizes. It features embattled parapets with mock machicolation. To the right of the office, there is a pedestrian arch. The building is a narrow single-storey structure that includes a vaulted pedestrian passageway on the north-east side, which retains remnants of cast-iron toll gates and an unglazed window opening with a pointed head in the wall facing the sea. The entrance to the pedestrian passage is through a pointed archway on the south-east elevation, above which is a plaque inscribed with: "Great Ormes Head/Marine Drive/ - Chairman Joseph Evans/-Directors-/St John Charton JP Thomas Williams/James Nichol MD Major J L Thursby/Secretary RS Chamberlain/Engineer A Foulkes/Erected 1878". The south-east elevation of the lodge features a bay window with sash lights, while the south-west elevation includes a buttress.
